Are any further updates in the works for the Learjet? --Randall Griffin

I didn't know that about the stand-by altimeter. However, the problem I'm seeing is that while the altimeter setting on the main altimeter reads, for example, 29.92, the stand-by shows 29.91. There is a 1/100th inch difference between the two settings, no matter what altitude/elevation. It seems to me that the setting on one should be the same as the other. And in this sim, the two cannot be set independently. --Randall Griffin

The Learjet is a wonderful plane. I have about 45 hours on it. But I would like to see the following addressed in the next update: 1. Pressurization system: The cabin climb/descent guage doesn't seem to work. It stays on zero, even in climbs and descents. 2. Standby altimeter: The standby altimeter seems to be off slightly, as it doesn't match the main altimeter. 3. Is there a way that autopilot pitch changes can be made without having to switch off the vertical pitch mode in order to manually set the pitch, then reengaging the mode? 4. Also, when radio altimeter is on, I get the "Don't sink" warning, even though descending at 500-700 fpm on approach. Also, are there any repaints available besides the 3 on the website? Thanks. --Randall Griffin

Same here. I also notice that the standby altimeter does not display exactly the same as the main altimeter. The standby alt is 1/100th off. For example, if main altimeter is set to 29.92, the standby is 29.93. If I set 29.92 in standby, then the main altimeter kohlsman setting reads 29.91, etc. Certainly not a big deal, just a very mild annoyance. One more thing I noticed is in the load manager. If fuel is set to light load, the gross weight total reads correctly. However, if fuel load is set to medium or heavy, the gross weight readout does not take the increased fuel load into account. Again, minor. I am having a great time with this plane. I had been flying the Flight 1 Mustang (great plane!) but was beginning to get spoiled by the high degree of automation. Wanted a bizjet, but wanted a more hands on, old school style of flying--managing thrust, autopilot, systems, etc. This Learjet fits the bill perfectly! An enjoyable learning curve, but once learned, a real sense of accomplishment! --Randall Griffin

As far as I'm concerned, Realair customer service is top notch. I've emailed Rob a couple of times with questions, and he has always responded in a timely and friendly fashion. Having flightsimmed for almost 20 years, and having purchased hundreds of addons (planes, scenery, utilities, etc) from scores of publishers, I must say that Realair provides the absolute best fsx addon experience: excellent products plus outstanding support. --Randall Griffin

Coulf you also send your fixes to me? randall.griffin@att,net Thanks!
